    Air Induction

    Any opinions on the K&N induction versus the Volant?

    Well IMHO it is all about fit as both will deliver the same RWHP results.....
    So fit and finish is the decision to make.....I would however use a dryflow filter like AEM or Amsoil versus the oiled cone filter.

    I just installed a Volant. I have Volant for no other reason then because I got it for a whopping $120 shipped. It looks great and it was easy to install. Other then that, I have little input as to what is better.

    Ya, that was one think that I thought of immediately when I saw it was "heat soaking!" Heat soaking issue aside, power gains about the same? How's the sound?

    I like the Volant box............Since it is enclosed and only sucking air from the core support area.
    The 04 K&N kit I seen was open on one side of the box sucking that nice warm air by the motor.
    Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!
